THIRTEEN opens immediately where the previous book, Spell Bound left off. The motley crew of supernaturals are trying to track down the group who is kidnapping those with special abilities before Savannah's brother dies from whatever experiments the mystery villains have conducted on him. With so many suspects, they are quickly running out of time.
I love how Kelley Armstrong has numerous points of view focused on a central mission. You are able to see how the different personalities are trying to deal with the situation and try to bring it to a promising conclusion for all. The political motives of the Cabals and their leaders add even more danger and suspense for our main group of characters. Throughout the book, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would be thrown at them next.
Authors have to be careful with long running series. They can become stale or repetitive. Kelley Armstrong has no issues with the Women of the Underworld. The stories progress naturally and the action keeps everything fresh and exciting. THIRTEEN has easily become one of my favorite finales for a series. I only hope that the hint of possible additional stories in this imaginative world become a reality.
Book Summary
The #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley
Armstrong delivers the novel her fans have been clamoring
for: The epic finale of the Otherworld
series.
It’s been more than ten years, a dozen
installments, and hundreds of thousands of copies since
Kelley Armstrong introduced readers to the all-too-real
denizens of the Otherworld: witches, werewolves,
necromancers, vampires, and half-demons, among others. And
it’s all been leading to Thirteen, the final
installment, the novel that brings all of these stories to a
stunning conclusion.
A war is brewing—the first
battle has been waged and Savannah Levine is left standing,
albeit battered and bruised. She has rescued her half
brother from supernatural medical testing, but he’s fighting
to stay alive. The Supernatural Liberation Movement took him
hostage, and they have a maniacal plan to expose the
supernatural world to the unknowing.
Savannah has
called upon her inner energy to summon spells with
frightening strength, a strength she never knew she had, as
she fights to keep her world from shattering. But it’s more
than a matter of supernaturals against one another—both
heaven and hell have entered the war; hellhounds,
genetically modified werewolves, and all forces of good and
evil have joined the fray.
Uniting Savannah with
Adam, Paige, Lucas, Jaime, Hope, and other lost-but-not
forgotten characters in one epic battle, Thirteen is a
grand, crowd-pleasing closer for Armstrong’s legions of fans
